i just heard that some people feed their dragons pinkies. what are the pros and cons to this? i have never heard of feeding them pinkies before.

I used to give them to my females that had just laid but since have learned just how bad they can be. They are a major impaction risk and if fresh also a major parasite risk. The pros are that they will put weight onto a draon really fast but that's a con also because they are really fatty and lead to fatty liver disease. Overall I would not recomend them anymore.
